I Get Up, I Fall Down, All

The Body Is Your Instrument In Dance, But Your Art Is Outside That Creature, The Body. I Don't Leap And Jump Anymore. I Look At Young Dancers, And I Am Envious, More Aware Of What Glories The Body Contains. But Sensitivity Is Not Made Dull By Age.

My Dancing Is Not An Attempt To Interpret Life In The Literary Sense. It Is An Affirmation Of Life Through Movement.

It's What I Always Wanted To Do, To Show The Laughter, The Fun, The Joy Of Dance.

I Did Not Want To Be A Tree, A Flower Or A Wave. In A Dancer's Body, We As Audience Must See Ourselves, Not The Imitated Behavior Of Everyday Actions, Not The Phenomenon Of Nature, Not Exotic Creatures From Another Planet, But Something Of The Miracle That Is A Human Being.

One Can Always Lament, You Know — But To Laugh In The Face Of Life, That's Very Hard. And For Me The Great Tragedian Should Also Be A Great Comedian.
